I have some Luksusowa in the freezer, I need some suggestions for what to make with it. How does it taste in comparison to a regular old vodka like Smirnoff? Is the difference significant? Maybe I'll drink it straight if it tastes any different. |
Brita aint betta. Its crap. Get a LARGE carbon filter at Sears. It works. Or your taste buds are broken. |
dude, mythbusters busted that myth about putting vodka through filters to make it taste better. you might think its better but it isnt |
Those are considered to be the 'spirits' of the vodka. Less spirits results in a smoother drink without the bite. Be sure to mix it or have a strong chaser on hand if you're gonna do shots Prost!  |
Did you pay attention to the episode? The filtering did improve the flavor progressively as per their results. The only caveat was it still didn't taste as good as the big $$$ 'control' vodka. |

Potato vodka is "cleaner" because there is nothing in the mash but the potato starch and a bit of skin. A grain mash will include not only the starch/sugars of the grain, but the rest of the grain and all of those things that won't be fermented/distilled which will add other qualities to the spirit. The starch to non-starch ratio is much higher in potatos. |
+1, Chopin is good... Keep it in the freezer, pour it on the rocks. |
I watch that show for entertainment thats about it, I can taste a difference though and I like getting totally smashed of vodka after running it through our filter, no hangover so far
